Bio

Ale Sieben is Ale Meza-Santiago's pen name. She is Mexican and lives in Mexico but prefers writing in English for a variety of reasons, the main one being that a larger audience is achieved through the language, and the few people that help her with her ideas and editing don’t speak Spanish.

She’s currently studying a bachelor’s degree in Language Translation and is fluent in both Spanish and English but hopes to learn German, Japanese, and Russian in the future.

Other than writing, she likes reading fiction, usually fantasy-oriented, but is not averse to other genres, like romance, action/adventure, and sci-fi. Her favourite authors include Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Haruki Murakami, Laura Esquivel, Isaac Asimov, and Carl Sagan.

She likes comics and graphic novels, as well as manga, being more adept to the latter. Her favourite manga include Angel Sanctuary, Kuroshitsuji, The Cain Saga, and Pet Shop of Horrors. Her favourite graphic novel is The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman.

Playing video games is another one of her hobbies; she favours RPG, like the Final Fantasy series (the compilation of FFVII is her all-time favourite) and Persona. Other games she enjoys include BlazBlue, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Kingdom Hearts, and Silent Hill.

She also likes drawing. In fact, the headers found throughout her WordPress page are all done by her and include original characters found on the stories featured here.

Other favourite things of hers include cats, chocolate, tea, watching movies and anime, listening to music and sleeping.

Updates

28th of September, 2017

I am so, so, so, SO SORRY about the lack of updates! Life has been really rough... But a new chapter of Director and General is already up!

As always, thank you very much for your patience and support *bows deeply*

In Progress

Amends: Reunion Chapter 1 is up! This is a post-Compilation story that was supposed to be a stand-alone but, as it often happens, refused to remain as a blurb. This is the prequel to Amends: Tseng, where we learn how Aerith, Zack, and Sephiroth end back to life and what comes of it before they meet with Tseng. Sequels are still just in planning stages, with ideas for stories featuring Elmyra and Zack's parents, as well as a reunion between Zack and Yuffie.

Suggestions are welcome, just know that this will take time as I'm focusing more on Director and General.

Director and General: AU story focusing on Vincent and Sephiroth. Fourteen chapters up. Updates can be expected once a month (or, you know, when I can...).

Thanks to everyone who has faved my stories and/or commented on them! Means a lot to me, even after all this time C:

Hugs,

Ale Sieben
